THE BILLIONAIRE FATHER'S WISH

CHAPTER ONE

"Am I speaking with Miss Anna ?" a voice across my phone asked.

"Yes. Who am I speaking with, please?

"I am Attorney Luis Davis from A and A Law Consult ." My heart skipped a beat since I had no association with a law firm so I am wondering why the call.

"Hello?"

"Erm, yeah I am. What's the issue, please? Have I done anything wrong? I am quite confused that's all."

"Miss.Anna you have nothing to worry about. I am calling to have a very important conversation with you," he said, his tone professional.

"Alright, what's it about?"I asked, sounding a bit curious now.

"Well, Mr Williams Donovan requested that I have a meeting with you to discuss something very important with you. He mentioned that you should visit my office with your father who was his driver for this meeting."

"Okay but can I know what exactly this meeting is about?", I asked.

" I am sorry Miss Anna this is very confidential information which can not be discussed over the phone and without the presence of your father."Mr Luis replied warmly.

"Alright, sir. I will inform my father about this meeting then. When is the meeting?"

"Tomorrow at 10:00 AM at my office," he says

"Okay Sir"

"That's perfect. I will send you my office address and please the time is 10:00 am do not forget."Mr.Luis replied

Okay sure I won't.

"That's great then. See you and your father tomorrow at my office. Goodbye Miss Anna"

"Bye, Mr. Luis".

I ended the call feeling a sense of nervousness for tomorrow's meeting. I am confused right now because what in the name of hell was that all about? I honestly do not know what is so confidential that it can't be discussed over the phone and needs the presence of my father.

I set the table for dinner and waited for my father to discuss this so-called meeting with him. I look around the house feeling very sad because I miss my mother so much. It has been a year already since we lost her to leukemia so now it is just Dad and I doing this thing called life together. I miss her meals and our endless conversations about my boring relationship life. My mom was my best friend we did everything together even during her last days on earth we were inseparable. Tears run down my cheeks as I remember her and miss her much more this evening.

"Mom wherever you're I miss you so much today I do not know why but I just want to hug you tightly. Continue watching over us Mom. I will always love you". I silently murmur to myself.

I hear the front door of our little apartment open and there he is the most important man in my life my father Mr Oswald Smith appears.

I hug him tightly as I always do. Yeah, that's our little tradition.

"Welcome home Dad. How was your day?" I ask as I begin to set the table for dinner.

"Thank you, my Princess. Today was quite stressful since I had to drive my new boss around town most of the day," he says as he sits for dinner.

"Your new boss?"

"Yes, my princess . Mr.Williams Donovan's son Damien is now my new boss".

"Ow okay but I thought Damien could drive himself ."

"Yes he can but he has instructed me to be driving him around from now onwards. Come to think of it Anna if he decides to drive by himself, I will be out of a job. So I am grateful to drive him around."Dad says with a sense of gratitude in his tone.

"Well, you're right Dad. I hope that my job application as a Marketer at the new insurance company that's about to be opened will be accepted so I can help with the expenses and if possible retire you."

"I hope you get employed too, my princess. Enough of this talk what did you make for dinner?"My dad asks as he takes a plate across the dining table ready to serve himself.

"Well, I made your favourite rice and chicken stir fry with vegetables."

"Great I am starving. This looks very delicious. I am very sure it will taste good as always." he says with a smile on his face.

"Dad, there is something I want to tell you,'' I say glancing up to see his reaction.

My dad gives me a worried look and takes his seat to listen to whatever I have to say.

"I am all ears, my princess. What's the matter?" his voice filled with concern.

"Okay Dad, so I received a call from one Attorney Luis Davis from A and A Law Consult, he wants to meet us and discuss something very confidential with us. He said that he called because Mr.Williams Donovan before he passed on requested that we have a meeting with him to discuss this confidential information." I spill out everything with a hint of confusion and anxiety in my voice.

"Hmm okay, but did he give you any idea what this meeting might be about?"Dad asks, looking at me for clarity.

" No Dad he didn't."

"When is this meeting you're talking about?" Dad asks.

"Well he said tomorrow at 10:00 am and he has already sent me the location of his office. I guess we have to meet him tomorrow so we know what it is about."

"Hmm alright, my princess. I wonder what is so important that Mr. Williams wants you and me to meet his Attorney. Anyway, we will get to find out tomorrow . There's no need to worry as Mr.Williams Donovan was of great help to our family when he was alive."Dad reassures me and goes back to eat his meal.

My father is right, there is no need to worry because Mr.Williams helped to finance my college education and helped with my mother's treatment until her last breath.

"Eat up my princess we will deal with this tomorrow. Do not worry everything will be fine. The food tastes amazing as always. Thanks for dinner, my princess."My Dad says and leaves for his room.
